RICHARD Money admitted Walsall had only "ourselves to blame" for not taking all three points at Wycombe.

Pre-match, most Saddlers followers would have settled for a point away to one of the better teams in League Two.

But, in a storming opening period, Money's side created enough chances to have been out of sight by half-time.

"Really, we only have ourselves to blame for not getting all three points," the manager said. "We missed a few good chances in the first half.

"Some of our play in the first period was very good and we should have come in at half-time in front.

"But conditions were difficult. It was very windy and an end-of-season pitch, very bobbly with no grass on it. At least we chiselled out another important point.

"Defensively, it was pleasing. We got ourselves into the right holes and the right positions and Chris Westwood came back in and did well. Wycombe did not have a chance while we had five or six."

The draw extended Walsall's unbeaten run to four games with just one goal conceded as they head towards next Sunday's crucial visit to Milton Keynes Dons.

It was the Saddlers' eighth draw on their travels this season. If Football League chairman Lord Mawhinney has his way, of course, in future those eight matches, rather than yielding a point apiece, will be settled by a shoot-out. Money is not a fan of the idea.

"I've never heard so much tosh in all my life," he said. "Jimmy Greaves had a better idea - let's pick five people from the crowd from each side and let them have a go."
